The year has finished
And soon to be gone
A new year
Is right by the door
Waiting to come into
My little life
I looked back and I smiled
I've fall and I've rise
I've tears and I've laughter
I've friends and I've foes
I've held and I've let go
The time is here
To taste the fresh scent
Of a new year
Leave the sadness
And welcome a new day
We will still be reminded
Of things we've let go
But, slowly, like
Reading a new book
We have a new story to tell
For the new year
